Trump family gives peek into the renewed life of rescued San Antonio stray dog

From being sickly and covered in mange to wrapped in winter coats that are likely ten times the price of the average joe's winterwear, a former San Antonio stray dog is living a stately life with the first family.

President Donald Trump's youngest son, Eric, adopted a beagle named Ben who was picked up by San Antonio's Animal Care Services.

The beagle made his way to the Trump family through Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, a group that helps animals find the "proper love and care," according to the organization's website. ACS partnered with Rescue Dogs Rock to find Ben's "furever home," the post explained.

Lara Trump shared a transformation photo of Ben last August, a few months after he was adopted. She used the side-by-side pictures of Ben to promote the "adopt don't shop" mantra.

"Please consider opening your heart to a #foster or #rescue animal — look at the difference a few months has made for our #SweetBen #LoveHealsAllWounds," she captioned the photo.

From the streets of San Antonio to a jet setting member of the first family, see Ben's new take on life in the gallery above.
